Forget caps... upgrade the alternator and battery first. Thiers no point in a cap if the power is not there in the first place, they just smooth the voltage out for those perfectionist's out there lol. Just a band-aid mate, bloody expensive one 2!!

Caps are a waste of time.

Think about it. You buy a cap because it discharges power quickly so that your amplifier has power in reserve.

But, the cap has to charge again, therefore taking power away from the amp again!! Hence no point running one!

Buy a Red/yellow top and a 200amp Alternator and sit back and smile! (And go deaf)

yeah, who are they, like what town? They sound fucking useless as the ports are actually listed as a part on the computers at work aswell, and they have the same info as my computers. They cant make much money if they are anything like you say.
